SPRINTERSは、高校短距離陸上部の監督としてチームを育て、記録を積み重ねていく育成シミュレーションです。 高校名と都道府県を決めて新年度をスタート。選手ごとの能力や適性を見極めながら、100m・200m・400m・4x100R・4x400Rで勝てるチームを作っていきます。 主な特徴 ・新入生スカウトで将来有望な選手を発掘 ・入学時に100m / 200m / 400mの専門種目を設定 ・加速、最高速度、持久力、集中力を意識して育成 ・チーム練習と個別適性の組み合わせで成長方針を調整 ・大会前に個人種目とリレー走順を編成 ・PB一覧や歴代記録でチームの積み上がりを確認 ・県大会、上位大会、全国舞台を目指してシーズンを進行 誰をどの種目に出すか、リレーを何走に置くか、どの時期にどの能力を伸ばすかで結果が変わります。 一校を3年間かけて育てる面白さ、記録が0.01秒縮まる手応え、世代交代とスカウトの悩ましさを、短距離競技に特化したテンポで楽しめます。 自分だけの高校短距離部で、次のベストタイムを狙ってください。
